Popcorn! Popcorn! Popcorn!

I had heard rumors, and when you are a popcorn fiend like me, staring your third [1] Eat Local Challenge in the face, trying to prepare and trying to remember that snacks can be an issue, rumors are enough to go on.
The rumors turned out to be true. Parsell’s Farm, 589 Pickering Road in Rochester (just over the border from Dover if you drive out 6th street), has popcorn that they grow themselves. And it is delicious. Parsell’s has a wonderful assortment of vegetables, making a trip to stock up worthwhile. (thanks to Karen of [2] Seacoast Local for the hook-up.)
I’ve got some [3] Maine Sea Salt (61 miles, but at the price, very very dear), and could gild the lily with [4] local melted butter for an extra treat. The only thing I’m missing is proper popcorn popping medium. Anybody growing canola?
